HIV, or human immunodeficiency virus, is widely known as a sexually transmitted disease but can also be spread through blood transfusions or breast milk. HIV is a lifelong disease, and when left untreated can develop into AIDS, or acute immunodeficiency syndrome. AIDS attacks the body’s immune system, leaving it extremely vulnerable to infections and infection-related cancers. Medications called antivirals and close monitoring can control HIV and increase one’s lifespan. Early HIV symptoms resemble the flu, including fevers, fatigue, and coughing. When the disease progresses to AIDS, symptoms appear as weight loss, night sweats, frequent infections, sores, memory loss, or depression. Caregivers can assist HIV/AIDS individuals by managing pain medications, employing relaxation techniques, encouraging healthy eating, and keeping the home clean to avoid infections.

Hi I've bin providing health care for the elderly for many years now. I enjoy spending time attending to there needs because i learn hands on and listen to stories about the way things were done when they were once young and full of bounce.In settings ware there no cell phones and no air conditioners in cars. Ware you had to walk for miles to get from point A to point B. Ware no one would give it a second thought about borrowing a cup of sugar from your next door neighbor.A place in time ware the milk man brought your milk to your front door.This gives me a sense of accomplishment to know this person might of fought for my country, for my freedom. This person is someone's son, someone's husband.Someone's best friend and now it's the time to give the respect and care for there needs no matter what the case.That most of our elderly yesterday paved the way for all of us to today.
